    Do not know how they are doing this but I am getting email from myself. I will have emails sent to my in box with my screen name and no subject behind it. I send them to spam then open the header and find they are from someone selling drugs in Canada.
    I have changed my password 7 times now and that works for a day but then they are back. Anyone ever have this happen? Been thinking of placing an old program back in this computer call hacker smacker. But not sure if that is what I need to do.

    I have no idea how they are doing it, but if you gave me your email address I could send you and email and have the 'from' field read anything I want it too. There's several ways to acomplish this, how they are particularly doing it I don't know.

    I don't think PCS actually wanted your email address. He is just saying it's easy to spoof an email address. If you look at the headers you may be able to track down their ISP
